No Kristine, not Monet, wrong nationality.The theme should be a hint...
Franz Marc is correct!Congrats to you both ;-)
Recognized the poem?
First snow—I release her into it—I know, released, she won't come back.
This is different from letting what,
already, we count as lost go. It is nothing
like that. Also, it is not like wanting to learn what
losing a thing we love feels like. Oh yes:
I love her.
Released, she seems for a moment as if
some part of me that, almost,
I wouldn't mind
understanding better, is that
not love? She seems a part of me,
and then she seems entirely like what she is:
a white dog,
less white suddenly, against the snow,
who won't come back. I know that; and, knowing it,
I release her. It's as if I release her
because I know.
How on earth did you two ever get Franz Marc from that image?
Kristine wrote: "How on earth did you two ever get Franz Marc from that image?"I've seen it before, probably in a book or art history video. I love Franz Marc's blue horses, foxes, etc that are done in a different style, and are so whimsical. He was probably on my mind since Heather asked what animals we liked in art in her "Questions from the Met" folder yesterday.
It was also that post by Heather that made me realize I still had to post Franz Marc here ;-)Made it too easy again I suppose?
But not for everybody it seems…
I know, released, she won't come back.
